This farm was once a working cattle farm for well-known Sunshine Farms and their purebred Sim-Angus stock. Much of the property is fenced and cross-fenced for cattle grazing. Much of the timber is in two different ages of pine plantation that has been thinned. The plantations appear to be healthy, and the soils here are conducive to growing good timber (see the site index report in the attachments below). The owners have enjoyed some great whitetail deer hunting on this property, and I have seen several gobblers strutting in the open pastures during the spring. There is a small lake of approximately 2 acres +/- on the southwest portion of the property. Little Creek and Mulberry Creek both flow through the property, providing ample water sources for the livestock or wildlife. There are several food plots located throughout the tract for the wildlife.
There is a small city (5 structures) located on the property where people have enjoyed visiting a working farm. The wooden structures on the property give a nice rustic feel to the property. There is a snack bar and concessions building, large restroom building, barns, and two other buildings onsite. The contents of those buildings that were used for the tourism business will be included with the sale of the property. Visitors to the farm were once able to see fruits and vegetables grown, observe livestock, and enjoy tractor rides, a corn maze, and fairground style games. The owners used some of the land for growing fruits and vegetables, and approximately 40-50 acres were under center pivot for irrigation. The open land offers good opportunities for grazing and hay production. A great internal road and trail system runs throughout the property. Electricity is run all the way back to the structures, and the property is on the Chilton County water system. There is a large engineered septic system to accommodate the public restrooms. There is a large rocked area capable of supporting semi-trailer vehicles for all weather parking.
